BZ#647677 - i8k fails on Dell 8xxx laptops

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Just reaching out to see if I can get this tested by other owners of 
Dell laptops.

It seems the i8k module fails on the current fedora kernels - I believe 
due to some changes in the way gcc does optimisation. As such, the 
temperature monitoring, fan control etc provided by i8k doesn't work.

Can anyone else with a Dell laptop try i8k and see if they get the 
following output in dmesg:

[   30.519132] i8k: unable to get SMM Dell signature
[   30.519206] i8k: unable to get SMM BIOS version
[   30.519223] Dell laptop SMM driver v1.14 21/02/2005 Massimo Dal Zotto

and that after a 'service start i8k' you see the following in /proc/i8k:
$ cat /proc/i8k
1.0 A14 <service tag> 127 163 163 20250 20250 -1 0

I believe the patch I've added to the BZ report will fix the issue - but 
I want to make sure its not just my system
